Description

747 Albemarle Street has been in the same family for 80 years. The great grandfather of the youngest generation bought it after moving here to build Liberty Ships for WWII at the Richmond Shipyards (which was the most productive in the world and crucial to the war effort). This beauty is one of a small collection of Spanish Mediterranean houses on Albemarle St. The home is flowing with arches and natural sunlight. The entryway leads to a living room with a cove ceiling and a fireplace. Then, through...747 Albemarle Street has been in the same family for 80 years. The great grandfather of the youngest generation bought it after moving here to build Liberty Ships for WWII at the Richmond Shipyards (which was the most productive in the world and crucial to the war effort). This beauty is one of a small collection of Spanish Mediterranean houses on Albemarle St. The home is flowing with arches and natural sunlight. The entryway leads to a living room with a cove ceiling and a fireplace. Then, through an archway sits the formal dining room, which then leads to a breakfast nook and an updated kitchen. Off the dining room, two nicely sized bedrooms flank the hallway; they are separated by an Art Deco-style full bathroom with a tub. This gorgeous house sits on a large lot, with a big backyard for entertaining and an extra-large garage (potential for a future ADU? ). There may also be potential to add a second bathroom in the laundry room, next to the kitchen and primary bedroom. This home is on a desirable street in a coveted location, close to El Cerrito Natural Grocery, the El Cerrito Library, Ohlone Greenway, and the Plaza BART station. Open House Sat & Sun, 2-4.
